Good clean rooms. Convenient location and exceptionally friendly staff.
Great place to stay if you're visiting. It's right across the street from a family owned diner that has great breakfast, and it's with in walking distance.
How do I get ahold of someone? I've called 3 days in a row and can't get anyone on the phone. I just wanna rent a room
Super clean and trust me I'm very picky The people that run it are super nice. We will definitely stay again. We had two double beds a full kitchen, a full vanity area and the bathroom was spotless!
The owner is Ernie Ford. A really nice guy. His place is not super fancy but is clean and practical.
